Conception is the joining of the sperm and the egg inside the female body. It occurs within 24 hours of ovulation. Sperm can live in the woman for up to 6 days before ovulation, but the egg only survives less than 2 days after being released.

Conception is when the sperm successfully fertilizes the egg inside a woman's uterus. Conception occurs when a woman has ovulated, or released an egg. Conception can occur up to a couple days after sexual intercourse, as sperm can live that long waiting for an egg. However, then is a few days a month where conception is possible.

Conception is the instant when an woman's egg is fertilized by a sperm. It occurs after the actual act of intercourse, when a sperm reaches the egg and successfully fertilizes it.
